Last week I learned that Group Complete had been nominated as a finalist in the Couchbase Developer Awards to be announced at the inaugural Couchbase conference (CouchConf) being held in San Francisco on July 29, 2011.
A little context is probably important: Couchbase is the maker of the database technology that Group Complete uses to do Really Cool Things™. The nomination and recognition was cool enough but what followed was even better.
I'm happy to report that Group Complete was announced the winner of the "Best In Show" award earlier today, live from the podium during the closing session. Alas, I wasn't present to receive the award but I'm told that it's been strapped to the back of an armadillo who's been given strict instructions to carry it to me. Thanks Couchbase — it's an honour!
Apologies for the shameless plug. Thanks so much for your support of Radical Dynamic. I think there are some good things on the horizon for Radical Dynamic and Group Complete and I'm happy to share them with you.

The document-oriented database CouchDB is a big part of Group Complete and one of the key technologies that helps us make collaborative data collection possible! Couchbase, the makers of CouchDB, have recently published a case study on Group Complete that investigates how we're using CouchDB and the benefits that we've realized by making it central to our technology strategy.
We're CouchDB powered and proud of it. Check out the case study on the web http://www.couchbase.com/case-studies/groupcomplete or as a PDF.

We are very happy to announce that our Group Complete™ family of products is entering the final phase of testing and will be released in March 2011 beginning with Group Inform™. Inform is an app for Android smartphones that enables people to create, edit and fill out powerful electronic forms. The forms and data may be shared with other users to take advantage of real-time collaborative data collection.
Inform is ideal for inventory, surveys, reports or any other undertaking where information would typically be captured on a paper form. It is suitable for small and mid-sized organizations of up to several hundred persons and we are continually working to expand its capabilities.
We believe in the power of open source technology. Group Inform™ is based on Open Data Kit, the XForms standard and CouchDB. We're looking forward to putting this capable software to work for you.
Stay tuned for more news of this exciting release!
